Purchase or lease of municipal land for The Willows properties
An adjacent owner or developer wishes to acquire or lease City-owned land.
The suburb name alone tells us little about purchase or lease of municipal land. For a The Willows stand we look at the zoning record, title deed restrictions, servitudes, approval history and the City's spatial policy for that location before advising.
Where The Willows is
The Willows is listed in our Pretoria East & Old East group, with Tijger Vallei, Wapadrand, Waterkloof and Waterkloof Glen among its nearest neighbours in our register. Its exact position and boundary have not been confirmed yet. We group it with 57 other areas under Pretoria East & Old East; that grouping is ours, not a municipal region.
Questions we'd ask about your The Willows property
- Is the property part of a sectional title scheme, estate or home owners' association whose consent may be needed?
- Do the City of Tshwane spatial frameworks say anything specific about this part of Pretoria East & Old East?
- Have neighbouring properties in The Willows or Tijger Vallei had similar applications approved or refused?
- What is the current zoning of the The Willows erf, and does it carry an annexure?
Checks before appointment

What the planner does
Assist with the planning motivation and implications, coordinate the relevant municipal property process and identify linked closure, subdivision or rights requirements.

- Owner consent and power of attorney at appointment
Cost categories
No fixed rand amount or approval date is promised; scope and municipal processing vary.
